Option Adjustment mode

After using your washer a number of times you may want to fine tune some of the options to suit your wash needs.

There are a number of pre-set options, which can be altered:

The wash temperatures, including changing the ‘Cold’ wash temperature to ‘Controlled Cold’.

The out of balance recovery routine.

The number of beeps at the end of the cycle.

Resetting to factory default settings.

To enter Option Adjustment mode

Turn machine on at the wall but do not touch .

Touch and hold the and buttons together for 3 seconds. You will hear 3 quick beeps indicating you have entered Option Adjustment mode. The machine will show the default setting for the ‘Cold’ wash temperature.

The diagrams below show how the wash cycle icons relate to the options you can change.

The section explains the different options in more detail.

Use the dial and buttons on the panel to make your changes to the pre-set options.

Adjusting your options

The diagram below shows how the wash cycle icons relate to the options you can change. It also shows what will be displayed when you first enter Option Adjustment mode. Options you can change are accessible using the ‘Heavy’ ‘Delicate’, ‘Wool’ and ‘Easy Iron’ cycles.

Use this diagram to help you adjust the options, ie select the ‘Heavy’ cycle button to modify the wash temperature, select the ‘Delicate’ cycle button to change the out of balance (OOB) recovery process, and so on.

Changing the pre-set options

Wash temperatures

All wash temperatures can be individually adjusted if you think they are too hot or too cold.

The hot temperature will be the same as the hot water supply temperature.

Controlled Cold

If the temperature of your cold water supply is very low and you choose to do a ‘Cold’ wash, you will not get an effective wash. The ‘Controlled Cold’ option solves this problem by adding a small amount of hot water to raise the temperature of the wash to approximately 20°C.

The digital display shows the temperature adjustment possible. The default setting is , which is the same temperature as the incoming water from the cylinder for cold water.

To get ‘Controlled Cold’, touch the ‘More’ button until is displayed. Your washer will now adjust the cold temperature to approximately 20°C. Each of the remaining settings equals an approximate 0.5°C temperature increase or decrease from this point (excluding ).

If you always use ‘Cold’ or Controlled Cold’ water, we recommend that a ‘Warm’ or ‘Hot’ wash be used regularly, eg every 5th wash should be at least a warm one. Warm 30 water is needed to help maintain the cleanliness of your machine.

Out of balance recovery routine

When your washer is spinning it can sense if the wash load is out of balance. If an out of balance load is detected, the machine will stop and re-try spinning one more time. If it still senses an unbalanced load there are two options the machine can take.

Automatic recovery (the default setting)

Your washer will stop, beep, and show in three phases on the display screen. You must redistribute the load more evenly yourself. Use this option if you wish to conserve water.

Automatic recovery

Your washer will try to automatically correct the out of balance load. It will fill with water and agitate to redistribute the load before trying to spin up again.
